Dr. Hassey’s Teaching Methodologies:

Highly experiential with a strong dose of self-assessment and action planning. The sessions are highly interactive with opportunities to establish individual goals and objectives as follow-up and application to each particular situation back in their own organization.

Participants will be expected to complete a series of self-assessments before attending the session. In addition, articles and assignments will be completed between the first and second day.

The face to face course offers insights on how to become a more effective leader in today’s business environment. The focus is on tactics that can be applied immediately upon returning to work. For example, participants learn ways to strengthen communication with internal and external customers. They also look at the ways to manage conflict, what it takes to motivate and influence others, how to acquire resources and much more.

He is also president and founder of Bill Hassey and Associates, a consulting firm with a 25 year history of working with leaders in change and organizational effectiveness.

“Managers have tremendous responsibility in the leaner, faster, more talented and more diverse workplace of today” said Professor Hassey. “Old management tactics don’t seem to work very well anymore. A few changes in approach can make a big difference to a manager who is leading. It’s amazing to witness how a shift in perspective can encourage someone to lead in a whole new way.”

Managing Yourself and Leading Others helps managers succeed by redefining management and leadership and giving participants the opportunity to discover more about themselves and their roles as leaders.

“Leadership begins with knowing oneself…strengths, weaknesses and areas for development…knowing oneself frees a leader to be able to pay more attention to those who choose to follow,” said Hassey.

In just two days, the course provides participants with an understanding of how leaders serve their employees and their company and suggests specific tactics managers can use to respond to their responsibilities in new ways.

The course begins with self-assessment, first the Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and then the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI). The assessments are then used as a base for creating an individual development plan during the program.
